Afraid toddler isn't getting proper nutrition

My 19 month old son absolutely refuses any/all vegetables. This is stressful for me, because my family and I all eat healthy and I worry he might not be getting all the nutrients he needs even with the multivitamins I give him. On the plus side he loves fruit but I know that too much sugar is bad for him as well so I can't rely on him getting all the nutrition he needs from meat & fruit. His pediatrician said it's very normal and that I shouldn't be too worried but I can't help but be so when he is completely avoiding an entire food group! What would you suggest?

When DD was little I also used to make her pasta with white sauce, and instead of using broth you use "vegetable cooking water" so the water has vegetable nutrients in there, you can also make your own vegetable broth.
